Hello and welcome to The Compost Bin. I'm Compostwoman and I live with my family in rural Herefordshire. We have nearly four acres of garden and woodland, all managed organically, which we share with Chickens, Cats, Guinea Pigs and assorted wildlife. We also grow a lot of our own food, run courses in all sorts of things and make a lot of compost!

I work as an environmental educator, lecturer, writer and Forest School leader at Moors Wood . I am a Master Composter and have spent the last 11 years as a volunteer Community Compost adviser with Garden Organic and my local Council. I offer talks and run workshops and events where we talk about compost, veg growing, chicken keeping, cooking, preserving and sustainable living. We also make crafts and have fun.

We try to live a more self sufficient lifestyle here, as best we can, while still having a comfortable life and lots of fun.To learn more about us click on the About Compostwoman tab and remember to click on the photos to make them full size!

A frosty morning.

Everything was touched with frost this morning. There had been a hard frost and all the trees were rimed with glistening silver crystals..

The vegetable garden and the hen Orchard, beyond.

A frost covered sundial in the garden

See the ice crystals?

Our washing had frozen stiff on the line.

Fooststeps in the frost.

The hen's drinkers were frozen solid this morning as well, they were MOST unhappy about it, and told me so quite firmly!

Yes Jack Frost certainly paid us all a visit last night and it looks like we are in for another visit tonight.Basil loved his walk this morning, he was able to trot over the hard ploughed fields without getting muddy for a change.... even the cats came for a stroll...Love your pictures CW... did you get your washing thawed out in the end???Love Jane xxx
